Bookkeeping cleanup and catch-up services are designed to correct, rebuild, and stabilize historical financial records that are incomplete, inaccurate, or inconsistent. This service focuses on restoring order to prior periods so financial information can be relied upon for reporting, compliance, and decision-making.
Work includes reviewing historical transactions, identifying classification errors, resolving unsupported balances, correcting duplicate or missing entries, and aligning records with supporting documentation such as bank statements and loan schedules. Each period is addressed methodically to ensure balances roll forward accurately and the general ledger reflects true business activity.
Cleanup engagements are commonly required after periods of neglect, rapid growth, system migrations, staff turnover, or poorly structured initial setups. The objective is not only to correct past issues but to leave the accounting records in a condition suitable for ongoing monthly maintenance, financial statement preparation, and future audits or reviews.
This service provides a clear reset point for businesses that need dependable financial records before moving forward with regular bookkeeping, tax preparation, or higher-level financial oversight.
